www.atheros.com/news/jum ··· ity.htmlMy understanding of WPA2-Auto is that it provides backwards compatibility with WPA. So if an accessing client does not support AES but does support TKIP, the router is able to fall back to using that cipher.
Doesn't the DI-524 use a Broadcom chip? They may have a similar feature to the Atheros, but there could be compatibility problem here. I wonder what the chips in the client adapters are that are having the problem, and the chips that are not?
DI-524
Rev. A = Marvell wireless chipset
Rev. C = Atheros wireless chipset
The Jumpstart feature is in the newest firmware of the Rev. C product. It's really just to make establishing a wireless connection + security easier for the newbie network user...not very useful for those who can get connected on their own.
